There are others who think it would be best to rotain the present monopoly, but to recast the present board of directors so that the public character of the service should- be more specifically recognized.

It is even suggested that this change should take place earlier than the end of next year, and these several expedientà will no doubt be explored when the Wireless Bill comes up for discussion in a few months' time. The last compromise seems the most satisfactory of the suggested schemes, especially if the theatri- cal interest can be brought to work more closely with the Broadcasting Company. Within the last few weeks great strides have been made in this direction, and the establishment of goodwill between the two interests ought to make the British broadcasting system as officient as any in the world, even under the monopoly.
